One ounce of Cucumber Seed will plant a row 100

Earliest of All 
Always the First in Market 
This is the earliest of all cucumbers, producing 
marketable fruits of good size: the fruits are 6 to 
7 inches long, straight, cylindrical, blunt at the ends 
and of very dark green color which they retain a 
long time after picking. They grow very uniform 
in shape, size and color. The flesh is firm, crisp 
and of the finest flavor. The vines are healthy, very 
vigorous and produce a good crop much before any 
other variety, and continue bearing for an unusually 
long time. Owing to its extreme earliness, good size 
and its beautiful dark green color, it is of great value 
for the market gardener, and is grown on a large 
scale in many localities of the South to ship North. 
As a pickle for bottle goods, they are much used, be¬ 
ing of ideal size and shape. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 2 oz.
